Allen Iverson is now tied with Tracy McGrady for the most Player of the Week Awards this season with 5.

The Spurs now hold just a 1.0 game lead in the Western Conference over the Utah Jazz who have been tearing it up for the past month.

Three teams didn't lose a game this past week. Those teams were the Orlando Magic (4-0), Phoenix Suns (4-0), and the Portland Trail Blazers (2-0).

Four teams didn't win a game this past week. Those teams were the Los Angeles Clippers (0-3), Milwaukee Bucks (0-3), Atlanta Hawks (0-4), and the Boston Celtics (0-4).

The Orlando Magic are the hottest team in the NBA currently, as they are on a season high 8 game win streak to push their Eastern Conference lead up to 3.0 games over the Miami Heat.

Damn this is pretty cool, I might start a MyLeague with your roster bro, the problem I have with these type of leagues is a tend to want things to be TOO realistic, I gotta learn to just let it happen how it happens lmao

Also the draft classes would be awesome, I hope you keep editing and releasing em

I appreciate that!

But, I will definitely upload all the draft classes and everything once I get them done. My goal is to get through the 2016 or 2017 draft classes just to see how much different the NBA is in the game from what it's like now.

I think I've got the 2002, 2003, 2004 draft classes, and the 2001-2002 roster uploaded under my PSN which is orlegend0208.

I just started adding more players to the 2005 draft class yesterday. And just so you know, the players in the draft classes' don't look like they really do in real life. I guess they're kinda similar, but getting an exact replica of each player I thought would be an absolute nightmare to try and attempt. So, I tried to get the skin color, hair, facial hair, and their signature shots as close to how it is in real life.

Yeah it would take up way to much time to do every player spot on

What I was thinking of attempting was making sure every player you've got in the class, that is in game is on the free agency, then when they are drafted, I edit the real say LeBron James for example, copying your draft class LeBron, release the draft class LeBron and add the real one as a rookie

Might take too much effort yet I dunno, just gonna test
